🥳 HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! 🥳
We hit the ground running in 2025 with the raddest time ever on @70000tons surrounded by many friends and long-time fans. Then we wasted no time hitting the road through Europe in February with our besties @strikermetal and @sevenkingdomsofficial which was truly unforgettable and full of some hilarious memories. Then we took a breather before heading back out to Europe in July for our mini UK tour and the @wolfweez_festival_ , @pirate.metal.party , @dark_river_festival and @area53festival shows. Huge thank you to everyone that came out for that and checked out our sets! Also just a massive thank you in general to all of our fans that came out to support in 2025; whether it was in person at a show, by buying merch from one of our online shops or just listening to our tunes digitally, we love you and we appreciate you!
All that being said, we are going to take it easy on touring in 2026 and instead focus on album number seven, which is most definitely already well under way 😉 We are also hoping to put another cover or two up on our YouTube channel so be sure to head over there and subscribe if you haven’t had a chance yet! Lastly, we’re just putting the finishing touches on our Time Stands Still 10th Anniversary Redux and we are so excited for you all to hear it. It sounds like a whole new record and we can’t wait to put it out there for you all later this year (one year late yes, but hopefully you will all agree it was worth it!)
We may be a little quiet this year, but just know that we are working hard to bring you new music and exciting things for 2027! With the demos we have in hand so far, it feels like this next record is going to go deeper and heavier than we’ve ever gone before… Let us know what you think in the comments! Take care and we’ll keep you posted 🫶🏻 Have an amazing 2026 everybody!!! ❤️

Tarnished of the Lands Between, it is time to rise once again! For today is the release of our brand new single “Shadow and Flame”, inspired by the lore of Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree! The song features both our new second lead singer Maria Nesh as well as the amazing Brittney Slayes from Unleash The Archers on lead vocals, with additional support from our crowdfunding backers on the backing vocals, and we are thrilled by the result.
Join us for the lyrics video premiere at 12:00 CET today: https://youtu.be/rTmm7LTHUuA?si=Ptj3_ggYotWov-8H

The artwork was once again created by Stan W Decker, recordings took place in summer of 2025 at RET Records, IMUKI and Silverlinemusic, and Jacob Hansen took care of mixing and mastering of the song.

Today we celebrate the release of WHISPERS OF WAR!
This is not only our first full length release in 11 years but also marks a new chapter in Crimson Shadows history.
Biggest thanks to everyone who had a hand in this record including @sallai.peter for his incredible artwork for the cover as well as sir @christiandonaldsonofficial for his endless efforts to get the mix on this record exactly what we wanted.
We also want to give a special thanks to Matt McGachy from @cryptopsyofficial / @voxandhops as well as @brittneyslayes of @unleashthearchers for lending their insane voices on this record.
You are the best and we love you!
Raise a glass today and crank this album as loud as you can!
BATTLE FUCKING HARDER!!!!
We still have a few vinyls available so get your hands on them while you can!
